Abstract

Two IIB group metal complexes based on 2-hydroxypyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid (H3L), formulated as {[Zn3L2(H2O)4]·2H2O} n (1) and {[Cd3L2(H2O)6]·H2O} n (2), have been synthesized solvothermally. Structural studies reveal that 1 and 2 are two- and one-dimensional polymeric networks, respectively, both of which are expanded to three-dimensional supramolecular structures by hydrogen bonds. The L3− ligand takes the same μ4κ5 ligation mode in both complexes. The Zn(II) coordination polyhedron in 1 is either octahedral or square pyramidal, but the Cd(II) atoms in 2 adopt two different octahedral polyhedra. Both 1 and 2 display remarkably strengthened fluorescence compared to the free H3L, and 1 emits much stronger than 2, consistent with the structural features.

Graphical Abstract

Zn(II) and Cd(II) coordination polymers of 2-hydroxypyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid with 2D and 1D dimensions respectively exhibit different photoluminescence behavior.
